My favorite story from Riley Sager so far. A great mix of haunts, belief, youth, and grief. Really enjoyed it, I felt like I WAS Ethan. Riley also made the characters really diverse and somehow fit some really good depth with them.

I didn't not enjoy this but I'd give it close to 2.5 stars. If you've read Riley's books before you'll know what to expect. But this book was just red herring after red herring after red herring that ends with a rather 'meh' ending.

A lot of the story also requires a lot of suspension of disbelief which I found difficult to move past.
